I used to spend ages fiddling with different colour schemes in emacs and sublime text (basically it's a distraction for me) and it's a relief not to have that option any more. I believe you can change it at code level, but I see no need too. Research is nearly always neglected, unless the research shows higher profits. Pretty sells machines, but is hard on the eyes when actually working. Plan 9 is gorgeous, in a different, but easily arguable, way than OS X or recent UNIX GUI's.
